New Mexico Quarter



WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Hang on to any of the new State of New Mexico
quarters. If you have them, they may be worth much more than 25 cents.
The U. S Treasury announced today that it is recalling all of the New
Mexico quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from
each state. We are recalling all the new New Mexico quarters that were
recently issued," Treasury Undersecretary Jack Shackleford said
Monday. This action is being taken after numerous reports that new
quarters will not work in parking meters, tollbooths, vending
machines, pay phones, or other coin-operated devices. The problem lies
in the unique design of the New Mexico quarter, which was created by a
New Mexico State Aggie graduate, Shackleford said. Apparently, the duct
tape holding the two dimes and the nickel together keeps jamming the
coin-operated devices."
